It's a toilet, or rather the room containing the toilet. It's from a 19th Century Cockney word 'carsey' meaning a privy, and is itself probably derived from the Italian 'casa' meaning house. Interestingly, the original word 'carsey' could also mean a den or brothel! It does make you wonder what the old Cockneys got up to when they went to the toilet.

Crappin' or five finger shufflin'?
With Malcolm you really don't want to know.

It means a toilet; or rather it’s the room containing the toilet. Like so many other words this owes its origins to the London Cockneys who used the word ‘Carsey’ to mean a privy which makes you feel a bit sorry for anyone who is named Carsey. It is possible that the word comes from the Italian ‘casa’ meaning ‘house’ and can refer to the modern indoor facility with associated bath, shower and washing facilities. Originally, however, it meant a basic outdoor crapper, often shared by several large families which would make it interesting if several people had the squitters.

Incidentally, the Cockneys also used the word carsey to mean a den or brothel, so maybe it’s not that unusual to have it off in the bog.
Malcolm has just come out of the karzy after a ten minute residence.
Shit that means respirators on or an hour’s wait before it’s fit for humans.
